Do you ever feel like you aren’t doing enough, aren’t involved in enough, aren’t working on enough shows, aren’t preparing enough for your future, etc, etc, etc, even though your gcal is full to the brim and you're making plans weeks in advance? Cuz same.
As performers, we must be loose but strong, locked in but calm, focused but nonchalant.
After 3 months in New Hampshire and 4 months in Austria, I’m finally back on my college campus in North Carolina! Immediately, I jumped back into the theatre department, full steam ahead.
This semester, my home has been the 19th district of Vienna, Austria.
Though course registration can be one of the most stressful times of year, I also think it’s the most fun! I love looking through all of my options and picking my ideal schedule.
I am taking a German class while studying abroad in Austria, and one of my recent assignments was to use the language in real life.
The greatest beauty and biggest heartbreaks of life in theatre are the friends you make along the way.
What’s the secret to saving almost $300 on theatre in one month? Experience it in Europe!! One of the beautiful things I’ve learned about Vienna is how cheap theatre is here! This month, I’ve seen two musicals, one opera, and two plays.

No one warns you about how difficult finals are in college (or at least I wasn't warned).
How do a broken pit, unfinished set, and a sick actor result in six incredible performances of Urinetown (the musical!)? Love, determination, and a bit of theatre magic!
